Thanks: Gave 890, Got 1,688 |  Firefox Maxing out cpu load
Firefox keeps on loading up some of my cores to 100% when I view certain sites (hotmail is one of those sites).
It has done this on two of my pc's and is starting to annoy me. Does anyone know why and how to correct this? Could it be a flash issue?

Does the same thing happen with other browsers or just FF?

It just seems to do it on Firefox. 
I tried this and it hasnt helped. Firefox 3 RC1 High CPU and Memory Use? Try This Fix. | Just Thinkin'
I am close to dumping my favourite web browser if I cant fix this.

Solution is obvious to me, switch to the worlds favourite browser - Internet Explorer 
Have you tried the nightly builds to see if they have the same problem?
Can you drill down and find out what those sites have in common? I'm thinking Flash ads or something.

You could be right about flash adds. Only firefox is showing up in processes in task manager. Nothing else is showing any load.

Just tried un-installing all flash entries and its exactly the same. My memory load has gone down from 2.3 to 1.4gb?
At least its giving my cores a good workout.

The memory thing has been a FF problem for a while, they never did fix it. It leaks like crazy.

Just in case anyone else is having the same issues, the culprit seems to be Addblockplus.
